Officials say the utility temporary workaround should be enough to provide "wintertime" water levels to customers in the affected areas of Green Hills, Forest Hills, Oak Hill and Crieve Hall until then. Officials are still urging people in the affected area to avoid using sprinklers, filling pools or washing cars until permanent repairs are complete.

On Friday morning, people using sprinkler systems slowed the recovery process. Water pressure dropped throughout the area, and about 30 people reported losing water.

"When homeowners use more water than the temporary pumps are able to deliver (typically through irrigation) it affects the property owners at higher elevations," Water Services spokeswoman Sonia Harvat wrote in an email.

Water Services crews will be in the affected neighborhoods overnight, Harvat said. If they see any customers using sprinklers, crews will ask the homeowners to turn them off.

Metro's Office of Emergency Management will continue to hand out water from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. at Crieve Hall Elementary School and Hillsboro High School.

Homebound Nashvillians who have no way to pick up the bottled water can call OEM's helpline at 862-8750.
